Hi Tim, Don't worry about it. This is a photo that I'll throw in the dustbin of bitter experience. I wasn't sure if it worked and the response (and lack of response) from this list tells me that it's just not worth worrying about anymore. Because it was shot through glass it was very washed out to begin with. I had to really dial in a lot of contrast to get it to where it is now - which clearly is still too washed out. Often when I post to the list it's because I'm not sure about a photo. I kind of like some aspects of it, but I recognize that there are plenty of faults. Seeing what others say helps me be objective and see if it works overall, if their are enough positives to outweigh the negatives. Your comment (and those of others) help me realize that this photo's not worth trying to save.
